Kimberley, Cossall, Awsworth & Trowell – News Update & Information Service – May 2011
Hi all
A brief update for you this month, there’s a couple of items to draw your attention including the latest position on power cuts in Kimberley.
I’m not going to dwell at great length on Thursday and the elections as I’ve written extensively about the significance of the elections locally and the national referendum already.
I’ll be back with a full update for May after Thursday – providing of course I am re-elected that is 
Best regards
Richard

Kimberley, Cossall, Awsworth & Trowell – News Update & Information Service – May 2011
1) Power Cuts in Kimberley & steps to make improvements
Some of you will recall the problems with regular power cuts in certain parts of Kimberley. For well over a year now I’ve been working alongside Central Networks and some helpful residents in the High Street area, in order to try and establish some long term improvements.
I’ve been informed that tthe work to reinforce the low voltage network in Kimberley will begin on the 16 May 2011 and is expected to be completed around 25 May 2011. The work to renew the substation on St James’ Street in Kimberley will start on 29 August 2011 and should be completed on 13 September 2011. Some customer supplies will be interrupted while they are being transferred over to the new substation and low voltage network however, those customers will be notified in advance.
Anyone wanting further information can contact:
Helen Holbrook, Customer Liaison Co-ordinator, Operations & Asset Management Helen.Holbrook@central-networks.co.uk Tel: 02476 194100
2) Farmers Market – Saturday 7 May – 9am until 1pm
The next Farmers Market in Kimberley is this coming Saturday, Toll Bar Square.
We’ve got a great variety of stalls including ostrich burgers, fruit and veg, bread, cakes, cheeses, meats, curries, free range eggs and hand made cards.
Do come and support your local market, there’s always a great community atmosphere and it’s a good way to catch up with neighbours!
3) Zebra crossings in Kimberley
Many of you will be aware of the current campaign that Andy Cooper, Mary McGuckin and myself are running in order to try and get a crossing near the junction with Noel Street & Nottingham Road. We’ve now collated a lot of evidence & will be putting this to the Council Council shortly.
I know as well from canvassing that there’s continuing pressure for a zebra to be installed in the vicinity of Digby Street and Eastwood Road. Also the question has again been raised about the possibility of a pedestrian crossing at the bottom of Gilt Hill to assist those walking over to Ikea.
I’ve been in touch with the Managing Director of the Retail Park site, and there is the possibility of some monetary contribution coming forward over the next few months.
I’ll be following this up after Thursday. If anyone wants more information please get in touch.
4) Voting Day – Thursday 5 May 2011
I’m sure you don’t need reminding about Thursday.
In Kimberley & Cossall when out canvassing together with Andy Cooper & Mary McGuckin we’ve picked up lots of issues that are still important to people – like the atrocious state of some of the pavements and roads, the need to continue to press the County Council to stop ignoring people in the Swingate/High Street area who want something doing to help improve traffic flow and improve safety for pedestrians, the absolute need to campaign vigorously against open casting in Cossall, regeneration for Kimberley, an enforcement of the weight restriction in the Cliff Boulevard area and so on.
Just a few pointers that might be of help with regards to voting on Thursday:
- You will all have a vote on Referendum on changing the voting system. You vote either Yes or No change to the Alternative Vote. Additionally …………..
- If you live in Kimberley you also have two additional elections to vote in a) for the borough council – here you are allowed to select any THREE candidates from the 9 shown on the ballot paper. b) you then vote for Kimberley town council (pick up to 15 candidates – there are 17 listed).
- In Awsworth – for the borough elections you pick ONE candidate (just two candidates standing). You then have a separate vote for Awsworth Parish Council.
- In Cossall – there’s no election for the parish council. You just vote here for the THREE borough council candidates (nine standing).
- In Trowell – again no election for the parish. You vote for one candidate for the borough council elections.
- If anyone wants information on candidates in Greasley or Nuthall, or any clarification about what’s been written above, please let me know. Alternatively see: http://www.broxtowe.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1

Gerry Hargreaves has a background of electrical installation and maintenance followed by considerable experience of energy monitoring providing technical support to the marketing division of East Midlands Electricity.
Projects throughout the UK have included energy monitoring and data/billing analysis to assist companies to improve efficient use of energy. This has included disputes with electricity suppliers and distributors and site surveys, installation of temporary monitoring equipment and recommendations to install suitable power factor correction equipment.
Site surveys for the installation of a M&T at major sites, have been undertaken and with the recent advances in remote monitoring technologies surveys and installation of GSM smart meters have been undertaken at distribution centres of a leading logistics company.
A request by a leading UK energy supplier has resulted in the installation of remote data collection technology, including planning and installation of remote data logging equipment to monitor and analyse usage data from geothermal sites within the UK. This work is ongoing in the development of renewable energy and low carbon technology. Site visits and travel are significant reduced with the application of t-mac technology.
